Fair use rationale for Image:Betty Balfour.jpg edit

 

Image:Betty Balfour.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Date of birth edit

If Balfour was born in Durham, she was Elizabeth Balfour whose birth was registered in Q1 1902 Chester Le Street (vol 10A, pg 581), daughter of hotel barman Alexander Balfour (b. ~1861) and Margret Balfour (b. ~1861). Her death registry entry gives a date of birth of 23/Mar/1902, which would fit with a registration in Q1 (Jan/Feb/Mar). Davepattern (talk) 06:32, 12 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

She was not born in Durham, but in London; and her birth name was not Elizabeth Balfour, it was Florence Lilian Woods. She was brought up by an aunt, Helen Balfour. There is a discussion here, and more information here. I will try to correct the misinformation in the article, though I recognise that the sources are not the best.
